Continuing with various sources concerning Wood's World War I service.
COLUMBIA ENCYCLOPEDIA-- Even though this doesn't have to do with World War I, i am interested in the Great Depression's WPA. Grant Wood was the director of WPA projects in Iowa.
WIKIPEDIA had nothing on Wood's World War I service.
FROM STONE CITY ART COLONY AND SCHOOL at ww.projects.mtmercy.edu.
In 1910, Wood graduated from high school and began studying to be a teacher at the University of Iowa. In 1916, he was a student at the Art Institute of Chicago, but never finished.
In 1917, he found he had been exempted from the draft for World War I, but waived it and was briefly stationed at Des Moines' Camp Dodge and was later assigned to designing Army artillery camouflage in Washington, DC. After the 1918 Armistice, he returned home, never having had any military action.
This last source seems to have his World War II service down the best.
I was unable to find out anything about Earl Sullivan, but the two of them probably met while at Camp Dodge where the charcoal drawing would have been made.
